Time to make our ground, and first Irish aperitif was in in Ronan's quarters!

Ronan.. Natural!  :P



Laurent



The Pope



Frederic and Philippe



Lolo Météo and Frederic



Good saucissons and fromages flowing along some nice Irish beers and cider  :D  Life!

We all ended up in my tent for more... With Champagne this time!
Ok, ok, sound like we actually drank a lot... Our excuse is that we only see each others once a year, lots to catch up!
That's my excuse, and I stand by it!  :D
But this event is about flying, but this is also about meeting friends, having good time, and that is what make this meeting so special...









Good times! Foie gras, Duck legs, good wines... Life!

Ended up at 2am with Frederic and Philippe testing some local specialities, like this lovely Rasperry Spirit (bottle is hand carved...) and off for a good night!




First casualties showed up the next day, starting with the Pope having a nap in his car during the slope visit...  :lol:  :lol:

Very good Fred, (And I am proud to have you as my friend, old fruit. :P )

It looked a tad chilly, but plenty of wind it seems. That’s what’s needed, and lot’s of it! :D

Good to see you enjoyed yourselves. :D  (I think you're all a bunch of drunkards :lol: )

I have more photos, but I had to give my Laptop at work to some President / CEO / Big Boss for a demo...
Hope he like gliders!  :mrgreen:

Continued...

This year, Claude Lacombe brought with him a "scale" catapult  :clap:  Work with poulies, a heavy weight etc.. A bit of work is still needed to have successfull launches (the cord used is too elestic, that mixes the poulies...) but a real nice team effort, and a good laugh!  :clap:  :clap:

















Bungee launches on the Sunday...





Group photo... Germany



Ireland :









Ger's Wren



Then, that was Restaurant for us in the Village of Vauville. Time to taste some specialties!





And Ile Flottante  :D
